A  TRIP  TO 


rS    EQUAL. 


BERMUDA. 


By  F.  H.  TAYLOR. 

.^HREE  years  ago  one  winter    day,  the  writer 

(■nc,.,„.tere,l  J.is  friend  C ,  a  hard-worked 

i|^^  litoraiy  editor,  upon  tlu>  street. 

'^i'"         "^ee  here,  T ;   you've  been  every- 

where.     Tell  n.e  where  to  find  a  refuge  from 
>K"w  books,  telegrams,  fresh  American  plays 
..     _,  and  nil  the  rest  of  it.      I'm  tired  out  and 

want  to  go  away  somewhere  to  get  the  cob- 
webs out  of  mv  brains.' 
"  How  long  can  you  stay  away  ?"  I  asked. 
"About  ten  days,"  replied  C-^. 
''Then  go  to  Bermuda."  said  I  with  grea.  confidence. 

^^t^ll.  C went  to  Bermuda,  and  when  /  saw  a  series  of  eulogistic 

etters  in  us  paper,  dated  fron.  Ha.nilton.  I  knew  that  he  had  been  uLb  e 
to  resist  the  temptafon  to  take  up  the  pen  he  ha.l  foresworn  for  the 
per.od  of  us  holiday,  to  writ,  the  praises  of  the  beautiful  little  mid- 
ocean  v(u-ld  to  which  I  had  sent  him. 

Now  between  ourselves,  when  1  met  C upon  that  bleak  winterday 

I  ha.l  never  seen  B.-rmu,la,  and  away  down  in  that  tough  and  leatherv 
adjunct  I  call  my  conscience,  I  fHt  an  occasional  twinge  at  the  fraud  1 
lia<l  practiced  upon  him.  After  reading  his  lettcis  I  felt  better  about  it 
ami  vhen,  some  weeks  after  his  return,  h,.  t.-.k  me  by  the  hand  and 
thanked  me  sincerely  for  having  suggested  Bermuda,  recalling  many 
points  of  interest  with  which  be  hud  no  doubt  we  were  bcuh  familiar 
I  mentally  resolved  I  would  atone  for  my  shortcomings  by  takiii-  a 
marine  pilgrimage  across  the  bha-  Atlantic  to  the  little  wliite  and  green 
colony  which  has  of  late  years  grown  so  popular  with  Americans. 

Now,  as  I  sit  down  and  undertake  the  willing  yet  dilHcult  task  of 
penning  the  im}>ressions  of  a  voyage  hither,  and  an  exploration  of  the 
islands  in  propria  jxr.svu/fr,  1  realize  what  lias  been  learned  by  many 
another  writt>r  :  the  poverty  of  words  to  adequately  tell  the  delights  of 
such  a  red-letter  period  in  one's  life  experiences  as  may  be  found  in  a 
winter  or  spring  voyage  to  Bermuda.  However,  without  further  pre- 
lude, tlie  reader  will  ])le;ise  siqipose  .himself  surging  along  in  a  cab 
througli  the  densely  crowded  thoroughfares  leading  to  Pier  47,  North 
River.  It  is  a  gray  ami  dispirit itig  December  afternoon,  fine  rain  and 
heavy  wet  snowflrikes  pelt  against  the  carriage  window  spitefully.  The 
policemen,  the  wagon  drivers,  and  the  world   generally  look  miserable 


and  despondent.     This  is  the  tr 


ying  portion  of  the  enterj)rise,  and  when 


SOUTIIKliy  iVIM'Kli  liESOliTS. 


the  Bermuda  excursionist  finally  Hi^hts  the  wharves,  and  looks  out  upon 
th.'  hroad  misty  expause  of  the  river,  with  its  myriad  water  craft  in  gray 
Bilhouette,  all  more  or  less  ghostly  in  elTect.  it  recpiired  all  of  the  mental 
resolution  at  command  to  resist  the  desire  to  clamher  back  into  the  cab 
and  order  the  driver  liome  to  the  cosy.  ct)mfortable  "flat"  just  left. 
Upon  the  wharf  the  new  comer  discovered,  however,  the  baggage  of 
many  other  excursionistn,  and  a  general  air  of  activity  which  was  highly 
diverting.  Who  does  not  love  to  see  a  big  ship  leave  the  port  or  come  in  l' 
That  man  has  no  soul.  There  is  poetry  in  the  idea.  It  is  stronger  than 
the  tarry  smells  of  the  wharves  or  the  sad  dispiriting  influences  of  a 
December  rain  storm  in  New  York  City.  Why  !  even  that  i)ile  of  trunks 
afTords  a  fund  lor  reflection  and  speculation.  There  are  big  trunks  with 
high  rounded  top,  suggestive  of  Fifth  Avenue,  silk  dresses,  bright  faces, 
abundant  cash.  There  are  heavy,  solid,  devil-may-care  looking  trunks, 
pasted  over  with  the  labels  of  half  the  hotels  of  Europe.  They  tell  ol 
long  and  varied  experiences  and  triunn»haiit  tussles  with  foreign  baggage 
smashers.  There  are  little  (piiet-lookii.g  trunks,  no  doubt  going  out  for 
their  health,  and  no  end  of  nondescript  trunks,  valises  and  boxes. 

The  Al  steamship  "Orinoco"  is  ai(mgside  the  dock  :  nil  her  hat<'he.s 
are  open  like  so  miiny  ca|)acious  Oliver  Twisl  like  mouths,  into  which  the 
last  of  till'  cargo  and  baggage  |)r«'!-entiy  disapjiears. 

Come  up  on  l)oard.  liut  few  of  the  passengers  are  on  deck,  and  tlity 
are  warmly  clad.  Enter  the  Social  Hall  and  pass  down  the  "companion 
way,"  we  should  call  it  the  grand  stairway,  on  shore.  Here  is  the  warm 
and  spacious  cabin,  and  in  groups,  chatting  with  those  who  have  braved 
the  inclement  weather  to  see  them  off,  are  the  passengers.  All  strangers 
now,  but  we  shall  kn<nv  them  and  be  able  to  identify  the  right  person  iiy 
the  proper  name  ever}-  time  before  we  cast  anchor  among  the  coral  reel's 
of  Bernuidii.  The  sea  is  a  great  social  intluence,  and  two  or  threi- diiys 
upon  deck  adtl  surprisingly  to  one's  list  of  acijuaintance — that  is,  if  one 
is  not  a  human  oyster,  and  content  to  dwt  11  hermit-like,  entirely  within 
his  mental  shell,  liut  few  memi)ers  of  the  Crustacea  are  found  anion;; 
habitual  travelers,  however. 

At  this  point  I  must  refi-r  to  my  "logbook."     Yes.  here  it  is  : 

"On  hoard  steamship  Oriiiitco.  Dec.  —  'H(\.  Weighed  anchor,  that  is. 
cast  off  the  hawser  lines  at  —  j).m.,  and  left  New  York  behind  us  in  a 
framework  of  mist  and  rain.  Highland  light  seen  brightly  shining  as 
evening  came  on.  Sea  smooth  and  conif()rlal)le.  All  hands,  inclmiing 
lailit's,  mustered  al  supper.  Found  ( 'aptain  to  lie  a,  first-rate  mariner  and 
gtmial  gentleman.     Olli(;ers  of  the  ship  all  attentive^  and  courteous. 

Second  <lay  out —clear  and  cool.  We  are  in  (Julf  Stream  ami  the 
noble  vessel  ploughs  her  way  along  through  the  deep  blue  waters  steadilv 
and  gracefully.  It  is  much  warmer  than  we  expected  to  find  it.  A  good 
deal  like  early  Nov»'mber.  It  is  (piile  comfortable  upon  the  lee  side  where 
most  of  the  passtjiigers  are  gathereil,  and  with  a  good  book  to  read  one 
may  readily  banish  care  and  forget  that  New  York  with  its  nuiny  perplexi- 
ties and  mud  and  damp  cold  weather  ever  existed  at  all.  We  pass  many 
ships  during  the  day,  and  much  to  our  surprise  actually  enjoy  our  dinner, 
and  a  good  dinner  it  is. 

Third  day— VYe  have  reached  a  climate  of  May.  Only  sixty  hours 
from  New  York,  and  here  1  find  myself  sdiis  overcoat  and  actually 
wishing  I  might  take  my  coat  off.  The  midday  sun  glows  down  iipon  the 
illimitable  t'xpanse  of  ocean  which  sparkles  in  the  warm  sunshine  in  a 
gladsome  way.     To-morrow  nu  vniug  we  will    be  at  Bernuida  ;   bo  the

care  are  his  from  the  momonc  he  takes  the  wheel.  The  channel  way. 
through  this  fearsome  rampart  reared  l,y  the  minute  coral  insect  are  nar- 
row, and  only  the  pilot  knows  their  secret.  Once  past  this  outer  ramoart 
we  are  safe  however,  and  lai.idly  approach  the  green  and  fertile  shores 
which  are  the  ultima  thule  of  our  voyage. 

The  captain,  to  whom  we  are  always  ready  to  turn  when  in  want  of 
specific  information,  is  good  enough  to  stop  in  his  rounds  of  the  deck  and 
tell  us  that  the  reef  through  which  we  have  just  been  <  uided  quite  en 
circles  the  group,  being  distant  some  ten  miles  from  land  upon  the  northern 
and  western  sides,  but  close  in  shore  to  the  south  and  east.  The  depth  of 
water  within  the  reef  is  not  greater  than  twelve  or  fourteen  fatlioins 
liie  great  billows  which  roll  in  from  the  boundless  open  sea  break  as  they 
meet  the  cordon  of  reefs,  and  their  pulsations  are  felt  far  across  the  coui- 
paratively  smooth  waters  of  the  shoals. 

The  topography  of  the  islands  now  shows  to  advantage.  Yonder- 
uponGibbs'  Hill— is  the  chief  lighthouse,  a  shai)ely  tower  of  130  feet  in 
height,  the  hill  itself  being  iAn  feet  above  the  sea.  The  litrht  is  visible  ir 
good  weather,  thirty-three  miles. 

Ihe  stranger  lloatin-  over  the  white  shoal  of  a  coral  reef  for  the  first 
timo  will  be  wonder-struck  by  the  marvelous  clearness  of  the  sea-water 
and  tiie  strange  effect  of  deception  as  to  the  depth  for  objects  which 
appear  to  reach  nearly  to  the  surface  are  found  to  be  so  deep  that  the 
vessel  passes  safely  over  them.  The  sunlight  reaches  many  fathoms 
down  upon  this  vast  submarine  plain,  displaying  every  object 'clearly  to 
the  gaze  as  we  glide  swiftly  along.  And  then  the  color, "that  beautiful 
bewildering  green;  just  the  shade  tliat  one  catches  in  the  gleam  of  an  o|)al 
or  the  tint  of  malachite.  Painters  have  sought  to  rival  it  with  pigment. 
in  vain. 

Now  we  pass  Cxrassy  Bay  and  are  within  a  land-locked  great  SouikI. 
Still  we  cannot  see  Hamilton,  Off  to  the  right  is  Ireland  Island  with  its 
great  Government  dock-yard  and  heavy  armored  war-ships.  Of  these 
more  later.  Along  the  attenuated  spur  to  the  rigid,  which  we  afterwai.ls 
leani  to  know  as  Soutiiainpton  Parish,  the  cozy  white  lumses  of  the 
islanders  peep  out  from  amid  the  trees,  and  w..  find  ourselves  wondering. 
in  speculative  mood  if  care  and  sickness,  worry  and  death  finds  lodgtMiu  :U

world,  and  even  the  isles  of  the  -ea  escape  not.  And  yet,  if  one  could  but 
live  here  a  part  of  ev<«ry  year,  how  much  life  might  be  i)rolonged,  aii.l 
whatills  bred  by  our  changeable  American  climate  be  avoided  !  What  days 
of  quiet  joy  might  replace  those  spent  in  fretful  comi)lainings  concerning 
the  weather. 

While  our  train  of  thought  has  led  us  back  to  New  York  and  its 
myriad  of  hard  worked  l)iain-rack(>d  citizens  our  steamer  has  entered  ;i 
mazeof  islands  and  turning  hither  ami  yon  presently  reveals,  off  to  our 
right,  the  snowy  town  of  Hamilton,  of  which  we  had  began  to  doubt  t;  e 
existence. 

Bernmdians  are  like  all  the  rest  of  the  world,  fond  of  their  little  excite- 
ment and  if  ycm  should  think  to  ask  the  average  native  what  particular

SOUTHERN  WINTER  RESORT'S. 


he  would  reply,  «'  To  see  the  steamer  come  in."  Thus  it  is  that  when  w«. 
draw  up  opposite  the  neat  and  pretty  town,  which  glows  in  the  mellow 
liglit  and  stands  out  against  its  dark-green  background  like  a  city  cut  in 
ivory,  we  find,  apparently,  the  entire  population  waiting  as  a  general 
committee  on  reception  to  welcome  us  ashore.  They  are  probably  vastly 
more  interested  in  finding  out  the  price  current  of  onions  in  the  New  York 
market  than  in  ourselves,  for  everybody  knows  that  the  biggest  and  best 
of  that  lachrymal  and  odoriferous  bulb  comes  from  Bermuda.  This  little 
community  can  supply  the  raw  material  to  set  the  whole  world  crying. 

But  onions  won't  build  up  such  a  community  as  this,  or  keep  all 
these  troops  in  their  gay  uniforms.  Those  great  forts  and  that  fleet  of 
war-vessels  are  not  placed  here  to  defend  the  birthright  and  interests  of 
the  simple  onion  !  Wliy  ?  the  onion  ought  to  be  and  certainly  is  strong 
enough  to  protect  itself. 

No  !  it  is  not  the  onion  alone  which  makes  Bermuda  important.  It 
is  a  militaiy  and  naval  necessity,  and  Great  Britain,  with  that  far-sighted 
policy  which  has  made  her  the  mistress  of  the  seas,  and  placed  her  flag 
in  every  pfa-t  of  the  world,  long  ago  found  Bernmda  a  convenient  central 
point  for  the  rendezvous  of  lier  vast  squadrons  of  war-ships,  when  cruising 
in  tlie  Northern  Atlantic.  In  these  days  of  steam  it  is  a  coaling  station  as 
well  as  a  repairing  point.  A  garrison  of  troops  is  always  maintained  here 
with  immense  supplies  of  munitions  of  war,  ready  for  instant  nse  in  any 
quarter  of  lier  domain  where  the  supremacy  of  Britain's  flag  may  be  dis- 
puted, or  for  bringing  to  terms  any  defiant  foreign  power  giving  causus 
belli. 

It  is  this  element  of  strength  and  the  brilliancy  of  the  uniformed 
class  located  upon  tliis  station  which  constitutes  one  of  the  great 
charms  of  winter  life  at  this  place.  Wiiile  the  strictest  forms  of  etiquette 
and  ceremonial  are  insisted  upon  for  tiie  better  preservation  of  the  tra- 
ditions of  the  "Service"  by  tiie  oflicers  of  both  the  military  and  nav;il 
branches,  yet  the  visitor  will  find  among  them,  if  properly  introduttd, 
many  charming  gentlemen,  and  in  their  families  the  most  accomplisluHJ 
and  attractive  ladies. 

The  additional  elements  which  nuike  Bermuda  so  pleasant  are  its 
novelty  and  departure  in  appearance  from  anything  we  find  elsewhere. 
Its  genial  and  consistent  climate  ;  its  excellent  roads  everywhere.  Its 
pictures(iueness,  and  lastly  (or  perhaps  it  should  have  been  firstly)  its 
goi)d  hotels. 

Tims  we  find  it.  oidy  three  days  away  from  New  York,  a  delight - 
fill  little  aggregation,  (juite  complete  in  itseif.  s(nis  railroads  and  even 
politics,  ami  nearly  every  other  ilistuibing  influence,  bound  to  ns  liy 
a  single  chord  of  sympathy,  /.  r..  tlie  ])rice  of  onions.  When  we  sum 
uj)  its  scores  on  scores  of  good  points  and  think  of  the  wretchedly  cold 
and  uncomfortable  Manhattiin  we  have  briefly  left  behind  us  we  arr 
moved  to  wonder  that  all  the  cougliing,  sneezing,  epizootic;  population 
of  the  "States"  have  not  found  Bermuda  out  and  come  over  here  in  sui  h 
numbers  that  there  isn't  standing  room. 

But  observation  has  taught  the  fact  that  very  few  people  out  of  aii> 
given  one  thousand  have  the  remotest  idea  of  the  elements  of  comfort 
and  of  those  few,  still  fewer  iiave  the  time  to  U'.ave  liome  and  find  a  ha^.  n

of  comfort  and  rpst  out  licre  upon  the  bosom  of  the  ocean.  A  small  frar- 
tion  of  that  blessed  tew  have,  however,  managed  to  get  over  upon  thi^ 
steamer  and  at  this  moment  are  awaiting  impatieutlv  for  the  steamer  t<.  he 
warped  up  to  her  dock  and  for  the  short  formalities  of  the  customs,  to 
join  t  hemsc'lves  to  the  small  army  of  Americans  previously  arrived. 

The  aforesaid  committee  of  citizens  discovered  upon  the  wharves  a?iil 
arranged  along  every  coign  of  vantage  is  a  most  picturesque  and  cosmo- 
politan assemblage.  It  is  largely  made  up  of  faces  as  black  as  ebony 
above  white  linen  or  cotton  costumes  of  naive  simplicity.  Here  is  a  grouj, 
of  tourists  who  look  on  with  the  air  of  superiority,  which  none  but  ;i 
lireviously  arrived  tourist  can  possibly  assume.  There,  a  body  of  soldiery 
in  the  red  ct)Ht  of  Her  Majesty's  service.  British  blue-jackets  wau.l.r 
through  the  crowd,  and  merchauts  of  the  town  move  about  briskly  und.  r 
ponderous  cork  helmets.  Taken  altogether  it  is  a  most  inspiriting  siglit, 
and  now,  as  we  step  ashore,  free  to  go  our  several  ways  and  the  crowd 
melts  away,  we  are  doubly  glad  that  our  good  angel  has  put  it  into  our 
lieads  to  see  Bermuda. 

If  the  tourist  is  a  wise  traveler,  that  is,  one  having  had  experience, 
lie  will  liave  arranged  the  matter  of  his  accommodation  by  mail,  before 
"going  out."     The  agents  of  wliom  he  purchases  his  ticket  in  New  York 
will  willingly  attend   to  the  matter  of  securing  his  room  and  board,  at 
eithei  one  of  the  hotels  or  any  of  the  many  comfortable  boarding  houses. 
The  first  tiling  wliich  strikes  (lie  new  comer  upon  going  ashore  and 
driving  away  to  his  or  her  abiding  jilace  is  the  excelh'nce  of  the  roadwav. 
Here,  indeed,  is  a  iiavemeut  wbidi  is  the  (icine  of  good  worknianshi|.  and 
enduring  (luality.     It  is  simply  tlie  solid  coral  rock  planed  down  to  a  Icv.l 
or  made  l)y  debris  of  the  same  material,  which  rajjjdly  levels  down  like 
cement  under  tlu'  action  of  tlie  elements,  and  becomes  hard  and  durable. 
A  thin  but  rich  soil  covers  the  liills,  being  deeper  in  the  vallevs  isav 
a  foot  or  so  thiciv)  and  out  of  tliis  th.-  vegetation  springs.     All  forni.s  of 
vegetaide  life  in   these  islands,  as  among  tropic  lamls.  generally  derixt 
their  sustenance  chief!}'  from  the  air. 

A  great  jioint  too,  in  favor  of  Hermuda  witli  invalids  is  the  absenceol 
anything  like  fresh  water  marshes.  The  ])orosity  of  the  caliaieoiis  rock 
causes  the  absorptioi  i  rain-i'all  at  once.  IiuU  ed  !  all  of  the  w;iter  iisimI 
fur  domiMic  purposes  is  caught  from  th'j  rain-fall  in  reservoirs  jihu-ed  u|ion 
the  lulls,  or  ill  i)rivate  tanks  v>  ith  which  nearly  all  houses  are  sujifjlied 

Tiie  charm  of  life  in  1^'rniuda.  and  especially  in  the  deliglitt'id  little 
community  of  llaniilton.  grows  upon  one  as  I'esidence  is  j)rolonge(l  ami

Hamilton  itself  is  (plaint  and  delightful  to  an  artist's  eye.  At  the  henl, 
stores  one  may  obtain  excellent  mai)s  and  guides  of  Bermuda,  wliirli 
contain  a  vast  amount  of  s])ecitic  inforniatio  i.  and  should  be  punh;i-e.i 
by  every  intelligent  visitor  at  onee  upon  arrival.

-legrees  of  latitude-from  Trinidad  in  latitude  10  .  to  latitude,  17>.  and 
over  seven  degrees  of  longitude. 

The  Archipelago,  exhibiting  every  variety  of  climate  peculiar  to  a 
region  lying  within  the  tropics,  contains  also  every  beautiful  aspect  of 
vegetation,  from  the  sugar-cane  and  (.>coa-plants  of  the  lieated  coast  to 
the  tree-ferns  and  giant  gum-trees  of  the  mountains.  The  temperature  is 
all  that  could  be  desired,  in  the  first  four  months  in  the  year,  and  ranges 
from  60"  in  the  mountains,  to  80   on  the  coast. 

The  first  four  months  of  the  year  .should  be  chosen  for  a  visit  to  these 
islands,  for  they  are  the  coolest  and  .Ir-cst  ;  Augusr  and  September  are  the 
hottest.

THE  CARIBHIU'S. 

So  called  by  Cohnnbus  from  the  C'aiib  Indians  found  in  jjossersinn. 

They  lie  stretched  l)etween  the  (  arribeau  Sea  and  the  Atlantic;  in  sliape  a 

crescent;  attracting  one's  attention  by  their  configuration,  even  if  viewed 

only  on  a  miip.      These  islands  are  the  loveliest  in  the  Caribbean  Sea; 

it  is  to  them,  in  fact,  that  we  are  Journeying,  passing  tl  e  more  iiorthern 

and  less  attractive  islands  impatiently,  though  taking  a  glance  at  them 

as  we  pass,  in  order  to  projjcrly  understand  the  relative  ])o8ition  of  the

and  barren  hills  on  the  south.  Its  princii)al  mountain,  Mount 
Mis(»ry,  is  well  named,  having  becni  a  source  of  much  misery  to  the  in- 
habitants of  Basse  Terre,  in  January,  1H8(),  by  i)ouring  down  a  great, 
flood  of  water  from  the  deei)  ravines  and  gorges  that  seam  its  side.-;, 
sweeping  away  many  houses,  ruining  estates,  and  drowning  nearly  -jmi) 
people.  ThisTiiountain  is  l,.']nO  feet  high,an  extinct  volcano,  with  a  uivat 
variety  of  tropical  vegetation  covering  its  slopes.  Its  i)eak  is  isojaiiii 
and  very  steep,  and  considered  one  of  the  hardest  to  climb  of  any 
in  the  South.  The  ascent  by  tlie  writer,  in  i\ray,  1880,  w.;is  the  first  tiiat

1498,  when   C-'ohunhus,  look- 
ing   upon    its   peaked    hills, 
called  it  La  Trinidad,  to  the 
present  century,  it  has  known 
much   of    the  evils  of    war. 
Wre-ited    from    the    Indians 
by  the  Spanish,  it  was  taken 
by    the    French,    and    later 
by    the    English,    who    have 
kept    it    ever    since.       Here 
we  see  the    survival   of  the 
fittest,    for    he    who    fougiit 
the  hardest   holds   possession 
of  the  soil— even  the  valiant 
Briton.       Many    great    men 
have    preceded    us,    reatler : 
Raleigh,    Columbus     and 
llumljoldt.      But  where  are 
the  Caribs,   whose  cannibal- 
istic    amusements    the    rude 
Spaniards  interrupted?  Alas! 
they  are  no   more.     In  their 
place  are  negroes  and  cool- 
ies,    and     the     various    col- 
ored    c.ees     resulting    from 
amilg,    ,  ation  of  these  witii  the  ever-dominant  white  man.    The  Dragon's 
Mouth- -so  called  by  Columbus  from  the  dangerous  character  of  its  cur- 
rent—gives entrance  into  the  great  Gulf  of  Paria.    You   will  sail  in 
between   high   cliffs  covered    with    a    vegetation    that   hardly  prepares 
you  for  the  richness  of  the  isbmd  lieyond.    There  are  four  of  these  chan- 
nels opening  into  the  Gulf  of  Parin.  which  lies  between  Trinidad  and  the 

continent,  with  a 
f.  length  of  upwards 

of  100  miles,  and  an 
average  breadth  of 
fifty.  While  the 
shores  of  Trinidad 
are  mainly  hilly 
east  and  north,  the 
southern  shores  of 
the  great  Gulf  are 
generally  low  and 
marshy,  bordered 
by  great  groves  of 
mangroves,  which
